I really liked this story. Sue was a bit over-dramatic in this one but I still really enjoyed it. I love her snarky way of writing. I really think this is the only book in this series so far that I didn't have a problem with some detail. I also didn't figure it out early and wasn't trying to. The story was interesting enough that I was just enjoying the story.
Kinsey gets a call from this guy that had some of her school stuff. He bought a storage container when the owner quit making his payments. Kinsey met the guy and paid the guy to get her stuff back and then started to wonder what happened. She forgot all about that stuff when she left her ex-husband Mickey and then she forgot about him. He was an ex-cop that was mixed up in an investigation into a guy that died. He got into an argument with the guy and then left but then later the guy turned up dead and they thought he might have gone back to finish the guy off. His lawyer recommended he quit the department and he did. Later he was cleared but it was too late to save his job. Kinsey left him when he asked her to be his alibi. She wasn't going to lie for him. It wasn't until she was going through the box of her old stuff that that she learned the truth. In an unopened letter from a girl they knew back then she learned that Mickey was having an affair with this woman and didn't want it to get out so he couldn't say where he was. Now that Kinsey new the truth, that he didn't kill the man, she felt she owed him an apology and went about trying to find him. She returned home to find two cops at her door. They said her ex Mickey had been gunned down and was in a coma. Kinsey was determined to find out why and in the process almost got herself killed.
I really liked the mystery in this one but the ending felt flat, like we were rushing towards the conclusion and left a trail of half-finished ideas behind
